Addicted to Blue

Yes, time for another arcane lyric. Think The Who meets Midnight Oil...

Addicted to Blueby Jon Trott, (c) 2006

My paltry deeds done under the sunLead to my further insolenceThe natural thing when I lose controlIs to rise and dress and visit ViolenceHe lives down on the Jersey shoreHas a condo lined with sharks on boardsHas armed henchmen that are short and thickA bruised woman he strikes with his stickAnd she looks at me but expects nothingMy girl before I threw her out for something

Humanity cannot be forfeited (so I say)No matter what a man might doWe're doomed to remain ignorantYou're doomed to love me, and I to love you

My peacock proud strut as I spread talesBlame you and others for my painYour deep'ning eyes of brown don't condemnAs I pour myself down Addiction's drainHe lives out on Wilson AvenueHas nine women dressed in sharkskin blueHas eight lawyers he calls the same first nameA stone heart and not one shred of shameAnd you look at me and expect nothingMy girl before I threw you out for caring

Ah, dearling girl, it shades to black this blueIt shades to black, a lack that's true...A lack of color we try to break throughLimbs are one as hearts beat - I still don't know you.

My holding on gone under this lit skyTake me somewhere new and frighteningThe surrender to that unknown HopeIs inexplicable -- a life by drowningHis place is filled with pervs and thievesAnd whores and one murderer - meThere you are, your eyes filled with diamondsNext to Him Who loves you - EternityAnd He looks at me and demands everythingMy God not unless He be my One Best Thing

Oh, my lady, it rises up in me, the color trueIncandescent Love that makes One of He me and youMeaning to the rescue -- Addicted to BlueAll the colors of the rainbow run through You...I'm addicted to You and you and You and you...I'm stoned and blissed and never more true.Addicted to Blue.
